Re: Ignore this thread

What I meant was if you have a poster on your posters to be ignored list,
entire threads started by them would be ignored and not even be seen
rather than just their individual postings being blocked from sight.

Oh well, I suppose there is no sense in posting this rant here since everyone
will ignore it anyway.

Re: Ignore this thread

From memory:

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, our bruised arms hung up for monuments, our stern alarms changed to merry meetings, our dreadful marches to delightful measures. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, deformed, unfinished, sent before my time into this breathing world, scarce half made up: I, in this sweet piping time of peace, hath no delight to pass away the time, unless to see my shadow in the sun and ignore this thread!

Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.

Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:

Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.

Dr. Badd: [laughs] I don't want to ignore you! What would I do without you? Go back to counting up numbers? No, no, NO! No. You... you... complete me.

Jay Redd: You're garbage who posts for cheap laughs.

Dr. Badd: Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a unignorer, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a troll! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the Hicks allows them to be. I'll show you. When the servers are down, these... these civilized posters, they'll ignore each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.

Re: Ignore this thread

I couldn't stop reading it over and over and over in my mind. The vague and distant suspicion that we never understood what was posted that night; what our role was. Or maybe it was just like the hundreds of other posts that disappear each year and never return. The above post was even more haunting for never being read.

Re: Ignore this thread

Natston: I'm pming Jay Redd in five minutes. He'll be here in ten.

Dr. Badd: Thought you would've done that by now. You know why you haven't? Because you think this might be an irreparable mistake. Because deep inside you, you know it doesn't matter what the rules say. When the lights go out, and you ask yourself "is Anthem better off here or better off there", you know the answer. And you always will. You... you could do a right thing here. A good thing. Men blog their whole lives without getting this chance. You scroll away from it, you may not regret it when you get to your homepage. You may not regret it for a year, but when you get to where I am, I promise you, you will. I'll be logged out, you'll be on a new screenname. But He... he'll be dragging around a couple of tattered, damaged avatars of his own, and you'll be the one who has to tell him you're sorry.

Natston: You know what? Maybe that'll happen. And if it does, I'll tell him I'm sorry and I'll live with it. But what's never gonna happen and what I'm not gonna do is have to apologize to a older poster who comes to me and says: "I was trapped when I was a little grammar nazi, and Gyron hired you to find me. And you did, you found me within some strange thread. But you broke your promise and you left me there. Why? Why didn't you bring me back to Club Rio? Because all the jokes and the movie parodies and the butchered songs don't matter. They stole me. It wasn't my thread and you knew about it and you knew better and you did nothing". And maybe that older poster will forgive me, but I'll never forgive myself.

Dr. Badd: I did what I did for the sake of Anthem. All right. For me, too. But now, I'm asking you for the sake of Anthem. I'm begging you. You think about it.
